Anyone know if it is possible to remove Windows Picture and Fax Viewer that comes with Windows XP?
I hate it!

It's another one of the dreaded can't uninstall components, however you can disable it via these instructions:

Thanks, JPG, PNG and GIF opens in the software it should. But BMP still opens in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer instead of mspaint.
I wish there was a way to remove it...
can ne1 tell me how i can get mspaint cos it has disappeared off my machine
try this:
go to add/remove programs... then click on the "Add/Remove Windows Components"... then highlight "Accessories and Utilities" and click on 'Details..' button... then highlight on "Accessories" then click on 'Details..' button... then check the checkbox for Paint... and click 'OK' button...
you may need the Windows Installation disc...
wow that worked cheers
those reg changes didnt work but i just got a bmp file went into to properties and said to open with paint
Change it in "Tools->Folder Options->File Types"
maybe you can change it manually..
